abilities are that Mr.. CLEVELAND will
be the nominee of the next Democratic
national convention if he wants to be,
which is not entirely clear, and that MIR.
BLAINE will be the nominee of the next
Republican national convention it he
wants to be, which is as sure as the ris-
ing of to-morrow's sun. The old antag-
onists will, in all likelihood, once more
be pitted against each other.
There need be little fear in the minds
of Democrats of the result. The people
have already once recorded their YER

rather tended to confirm than weaken
it. Whichever way the wind blows
year from next November, it is likely to
blow very cold and shrill for Brother

The Evidence is Clear.
Benson Monitor.

Benson Monitor.
The evidence of fraud and forgery in
the bill passed last winter, under which
the lands of the st. Paul 81 Chicago
Railway company were exempted from
taxation, is now clear and positive, and
that the governor was appriSed of these
facts before signing the bill cannot be
doubted. Hon. Thomas Bowen, of
Sleepy Eye, was member of the senate
last winter, and by the clear and lucid
explanation of the manner in which that
bill was carried through the legislature
and the governors signature procured,
shows that gentleman was no ''sleepy
head" while member of that body, but
had his eyes wide open and saw all that
was going Oh. He comes down with an
avalanche of facts and data and buries
the trembling. form OF Gov.
of extrication. The people
have been complaining for years of the
injustice of eXempting railroad lands
from taxation, and now when governor
comes forward and boldly assists i'll
adding infamy to this great evil, by
signing forged bill, after he is apprised
of its character and the fact that it is q
forgery, it is about time the people be-
gan to see and understand who are the
aiderS and abettOrS OF mOnOpOllStlc Op-
preston. There Is still another feature
connected with the passage of that bill
that looks peculiar to the uninitiated in
the ways of great legislative bodies (9
such as assembled at the state capital
last winter, and that is the large num-
Der of those statesmen, and their con-
nections and associates, that have been
induced to invest G? in those lands SO

FINALLY COLLAPSED.
The Bottom at Last Out of the
California Wheat Corner.

Special to the Globe.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2S.-The final
collapse of the wheat corner took place
Saturday. Its first break was not un-
suspected, but its second complete
downfall caused as much surprise as it
did CONSERVATION. The bull leaders
made a plucky fight, but fate was
against them, and their struggle, for a
time, was only partly successful. What
they desired was to keep the call board
closed for another week, and they claim
that, had this been done, they would
have been able to meet all their liabili-
ties. They were settling accounts with
their creditors rapidly, but the opening
of the board, and the low price to which
wheat dropped, owing to the unsettled
condition of affairs, made all their eff
forts futile. Both Dresbach and ROsen-
field have made assignments for the
benefit of their creditors. Their failure
to raise money enough to take wheat as
fast as it was offered is partly attrib-
uted to the boom in real estate. Every
one invests his spare capital in lots and
ranches, and this makes the present
tight money market closer still. Wheat
will probably drop to 81. or lower next
week, and it is likely that number of
small failures will occur.

Can't Blind the Public.

Morris Sun.
The learned Gordon E. Cole, once at
torney general for Minnesota but now
counsel for the st. Paul & Chicago Rail-
way company-so called, attempts to
blind public inquiry by righteousness
and an effort to affiX to Judge Wilson
the title of one of Charles Dickens
ludicrous characters. This is no novel
mode of warfare with the eminent Mr..
Cole, but it will hardly work. 1t is a
fact that the supreme court decided in
effect that the lands in controversy
were taxable since the covert transfer
by mortgage" from the original
grantee to this fictitious railway COM
pany. AS to their value, that is an open
question. In any case, the company
seems very anxious to retain possession
of what they call worthless ''swamps,"
and any one curious enough to inquire
as to the value of that portion of them
located in Stevens county can satisfy
himself to that extent on this point. The
law is bad one, and dangerous pre-

THE PACIFIC INQUIRY.
A Report to Be Made to the Presi-
dent AbOut Oct.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-The Hon. D. T.
Littler, of the Pacific Railroad commits
sion, arrived in this city to-day with his
family. He came direct from California,
stopping over only day in Wyoming
Springfield tonight.
''The commission is getting along
with it's work as rapidly as possible" !"
he SAID, "and l think we are accom-
plishing something. AS you have seen
by the papers, the president is giving
us his hearty support. All rumOrs to
the contrary is without foundation. Be-
fore we left Washington the president
instructed us to make a full and i'm
partial investigation, and we have tried
to do So"
"How did you get along with Gov.
Standford?"
'sThe commission found him very
pleasant gentleman. Of course, he acts
under the advice of counsel, the best on
the Pacific coast. and they are making a
very hard fight, but we are giving them
the best we have. They raise cOnStitu-
able to secure all the necessary eyi-
dence."
"How did the California papers treat
the commisSiOn?"
''They looked upon the whole idea of
the inquiry with contempt. In fact the
newspapers and the whole state seem to
be controlled by few men, and what
ever they do is right"
"What will tide commission do next?"
''It will hol han investigation here
Sept. II, and look into the old Sioux
City & Pacific railroad affairs. In 1862
the government gave that road sub
sidy of S1,500,000. The road has
since been gobbled up by the Chicago
& Northwestern railway, and all the
books are here. My inquiry will be to
ascertain if the road is in condition to
fulfill it's obligations to the govern
ment."
''When does your work close?"
"We meet i'll New York about Sept.
20. where a few more important wit
Desses will be heard, and we will then
make our report directly to the presi-
dent as speedily as possible. No more
testimony will be taken after that date"

Trades and Labor Assembly.

A labor day at the state fair was the
pleasantest topic sprung in the Trades
assembly Friday night. The managers
have made known their wish to set
apart one day when, through their in
fiuence, the factories and workshops in
the city will be shut down and general
holiday given to the employees to be spent
on the state fair grounds. A delegate
from the Carpenters brotherhood urged
the members to choose Grand Army
day, and it was finally decided to select
that day, being the last day of the fair
and falling on Saturday, Sept. II.

Overwhelming Evidence.

harrington Tribune.
A good deal of stir has been created
by Judge Wilson's letter declaring that
the words ''and others" had been unlaw-
fully interpolated in the above named
bill, to relieve settlers from the payment
of certain back taxes. To be able to
speak underStandingly of the matter,
we last Monday visited the capitol and
examined the bill and record books. In
the record books of both houses and in
the printed bill the title is given without
the words 'and Others" and in all
these places it was customary to give
the title in full. Did Gordon E. Cole
purpoSely refrain from referring to these
books? Did the governor refer to them
when he made that alleged investiga-
ton. But the words ''and others"
appear in the margin of the bill now on
file with the secretary of state. Just as Mr..
Cole has described, except that we can
not agree with him as to their appear
ance. To us they seem to be in a some
what cramped hand, evidently from
lack of room in which to write them,
and also in different shade of ink, and
very evidently not written at the same
time. 1t is also still palmer interpola-
tiOn on the back or filing of the bill,
where no one can pretend to claim that
the words land others" were written at
the same time as the rest of the title.
As originally drafted preamble pre-
ceeded the bill, and few of the words
connected with it appear on the bill on
file, but in striking out these words with
a pen, apparently at the time the title
was written, the whole enacting clause
seems also to have been stricken out,
so that the bill actually passed without
an enacting clause.
Gov. McGill asserts that but a small
number voted agaist the bill, the vote
being yeas 55 and nays 20. The nays
were as follows:
Alexander, Naeseth
Rjorge. Newell
DOnnel1y, Nordyold,
Flynn, Plowman,
Jones, VIM. R., Pratt,
Keyes, SevatSon,
Lee Skinner
Lehman, Swartwoudt,
McArdle, TraWicky,
MattsOn, Wilson.
If, after all this evidence, any one can
doubt that fraudulent uinterpola-
tlOn was made, he must have wonder
full capacity for doubt. But in spite of
it all the governor was convinced that
the charge was grOundleSS, but what
manner of reasoning it was that con-
vinced him is beyond mortal ken.
On Tuesday morning Senator Bowen,
of Brown county, had long letter in
the ST. Paul GLOBE, giving substantially
the same facts as we have ascertained
and given in the foregoing, together
with the additional fact that it was he
who discovered the forgery before the
bill was signed and pointed out all the
evidence of it to Gov. McGill, who
nevertheless signed the fraudulent bill,
thus knowingly making himself party
to the fraud.

A Business View of 1t.

st. CrOlX Fails Standard.
The st. Paul GLOBE moralizes over
the purchase of a husband in New York
city by wealthy young lady who be-
came infatuated with married man.
The price paid was $4,000, and this to
the ''firSt love-" who procured a divorce.
The GLOBE is always moralizlng; it's
too fastidious by half. Since it was
nothing more than live stock transfer
why not look at it in business light.
Wife No. is, or should be, far happier
in the possession Of $4,000 than she
would be with fifty cent husband.

HOPE AND MEMORY.
Why should it be that the misty past,

Why should it be that the misty past,
Or the future yet unseen,
Is dearer far TO the heart, alas!
Than the present which lies between?
With every pulse of the hearts red flow
Is woven dream and sigh,
For the happy days of the long ago,
And the glad sweet by and by.
There is wisdom in natures way
Which the doubling heart ne'er knows;
We live the best of our lives each day,
From dawn to their sunlit close:
For bliss we tasted at youthful springs,
And the joys which are to be,
Are brought each day on the gracious wings

What the Labor Leaders
Have to Say Concerning

Numerous Items Gathered
From the Several Crafts
in the City.
Programme for the General
Assembly of the Knights
of Labor.

If there is anything that troubles the
hard-handed son of toll just now, eX-
cept work and next winter, the public
would like to know it. There is plenty
of work, just enough men to do it, and
good wages are paid. This season has
been very good building one, and the
general activity of trade has made it
quite agreeable for all labOring men, of
whatever craft they may be.
A carpenter working upon one of the
large buildings in process of cOnstruc-
ton stopped long enough Saturday to
talk about the labor problem. "There
are only two things to do" said he,
''and they are: Work or loaf. We get
enough money to pay expenses and have
little over when we work, but when we
loaf we have to call upon some of the
other fellows who are working to help
us pay for our board. Now, if we intend
to have a long loaf of it we've got to
save up and prepare in advance, so we
can stand little idleness without going
begging"
Another carpenter, whose funda-
mental ideas were practically the same.
stopped and ventured the following:
eyes, you're all right, but you've got
it narrowed down to question
of whether to work or be
idle. That's all right so far
as the general principle goes, but sup
pose we put it this way: Go it alone
aud work for somebody else, or combine
and cooperate and work for ourselves.
1t amt a question of stopping work; it's
a question of how you're going to work.
We are the ones who do this
work practically now; why couldn't
we get the contract to do it also. can
tell you: We amt smart a enough, and
if we ever become smart enough and
get to be contractors, we won't continue
to be journeymen mechanics. That's
the way the world goes you, you know.
Somebody's going to be boss, and you
can talk about principles all
you've amind to. The cooperative
business may cut down the number of
bosses, and it may compete with the
practical contractor, but there's going
to be bosses, any way you put it. / be-
lieve in cooperation, because it will
make us contractors. too, but there's go
